I've been playing for over 50 years (maybe ten professionally in the late 70's... it's a bit of a blur), however never used a looper. I just got this one as a gift, and I went to KZbin to look for a tutorial... painful process. I have an old friend that use to work for Roland Canada and he has a video on here for the RC-3, however the RC-5 is a entirely different, so I was lost. This video went through it all in plain English, with a user demo for all the options.... PERFECT !!! Thanks, now if I can just find some patience for all those options. It's a very powerful tool. It'll be a case of 'old dog, new tricks' for a while I'm sure. Thanks again.

Thanks guys. I bought an RC5 as a post xmas present to myself. I find it easy to navigate - and because I am not yet getting too precious about my loops it really doesn't matter if I screw something up.... it's all learning curve. What a great tool! I just ran an acoustic guitar through it (with an ancient Ibanez acoustic pickup, into a Fender acoustic amp) - it worked a treat.Normally my electric is running into a Fender Mustang LT50. This also works great. I would say the RC5 is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

Thank you. I got this looper a few months ago and ended up putting it away after a few frustrating days of trying to figure it out. I got it back out today and this video has cleared up my confusion (well, enough of it anyway). I am not sure why Boss doesn't include a more usable manual with this looper, but at least there's this video to help me out. Again, thanks!

I come from the infinity looper and I change few days ago to the boss rc 5 because I reduce the side of my pedalboard. I use ableton as a midi master clock for the looper and I use to Record at the start of the next measure after the switch has been pressed. That's work perfect in the infinity but I don't see this option in the Boss. How can I do this or similar with the RC 5?

I use the RC-5 to loop the verse and chorus of a song played on my acoustic guitar onto a numbered loop, then "write" it permanently onto the RC-5. In my solo show, each song on the set list has a little loop number by it as the rhythm track for me to play electric along with it live and sing. One glitch: This has worked well for months but suddenly the drum beats I carefully set up and saved along with the acoustic guitar track disappeared from a couple of the saved loop numbers. Can't seem to get them back, so live I had no drums for those songs. Also, it took my looped/recorded acoustic volume back to 100, too low -- all my other songs are at 150. Now I'm nervous that I can't depend on the pedal doing my solo show stuff. (I tried to add drums to the previously recorded tracks, but failed so far...)

Hi! I love this pedal so far, I've owned it for a week or so. I have a quick question: the rhythm "start before loop" and stop "never" features are great so you can get used to the tempo before recording starts, and so you can have a loop in the middle of a song and keep playing in tempo before and after. But is it just me or do these things only work when a loop is blank, before you first start recording? I would love to be able to keep those settings on a loop even after I've recorded it. Is there a way to do that? I realize you can start the rhythm beforehand with the on/off button but it would be really nice to be able to do it with the foot switch so you can do it while playing.
